The Canadian government will provide almost $8.4 million for nine clean energy projects for Indigenous communities in the western province of British Columbia. The goal is to help them build capacity and to reduce reliance on fossil fuel for heat and electricity.
Many rural and remote Indigenous communities in Canada rely on diesel and propane for their energy needs. Canada’s natural resources department is supporting bioenergy projects that use forest fibre which is sustainably managed and a renewable resource.
